WHO WE ARE

THOUSANDS SERVING MILLIONS

KIDS NEED KIWANIS

Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Local clubs look out for our communities and the international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty.  We are generous with our time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way.  For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live.

When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.

THE KIWANIS MISSION

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children.

THE KIWANIS VISION

Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide–so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.

KIWANIS SERVICE

Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
